For eighteen years, the Western Kentucky Film Festival has been a showcase of the best in regional and national film and video production. Gifted student and independent filmmakers have seen their works screened in Bowling Green, Kentucky, since 1995, in an enduring festival created by Western Kentucky University professor Cory Lash. Originally a two-day event, the festivities have swelled to as many as five days, featuring experimental and documentary cinema, as well as music videos, animation and traditional narrative films.

The 2013 Film Festival features screenings and activities with Deborah Spera (Outrider Entertainment) and Rob Spera (Skydive Films).
